Our licensed plumbers understand California’s strict gas line requirements and work with local building departments daily. We handle the permits, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets code before we’re done.
First, we assess your property and determine the best route for your gas line. We handle all permit applications with the building department and coordinate with utility companies for any required shutoffs.
Before any digging starts, we call 811 to mark underground utilities. This prevents expensive accidents and keeps everyone safe. We then excavate carefully, install the proper pipe materials, and make all connections according to California building codes.
Every installation gets pressure tested to ensure there are no leaks. We hold the line at the required PSI for the specified time period – any pressure drop means we find and fix the problem before moving forward. Finally, we coordinate the building inspection to get your installation approved and ready for use.

Every gas line installation includes proper permitting, code-compliant materials, and professional pressure testing. We use approved pipe materials like black steel or corrugated stainless steel tubing based on your specific application.
In Camino’s climate and soil conditions, we ensure proper burial depth – minimum 18 inches for steel pipe, deeper where external damage could occur. All connections get the right fittings and proper joint sealing to prevent future leaks.
Your installation comes with sediment traps where required, proper shut-off valves within 6 feet of appliances, and electrical bonding to meet safety codes. We coordinate final inspections and provide you with all documentation for your records and any future service needs.
Yes, California law requires permits for all gas line installations regardless of size. This isn’t optional – it’s a legal requirement that protects you and your property.
The permit process ensures your installation meets current safety codes and gets proper inspection. Without a permit, you risk code violations, insurance claim denials, and having to redo the work later. Permit fees in our area typically run $100-$300.
We handle all permit applications for you, working directly with the building department to get approvals and schedule inspections. This takes the paperwork hassle off your shoulders and ensures everything’s done correctly from the start.
We use only California-approved materials for gas line installations. This typically means black steel pipe, corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST), or in some cases copper, depending on your specific application and local requirements.
For underground installations, we use factory-coated materials specifically listed for underground gas line use. All fittings, valves, and connectors meet or exceed California plumbing code requirements. Using the wrong materials isn’t just risky – it will fail inspection.
The pipe size depends on your gas load requirements and distance from the meter. We calculate the proper sizing to ensure adequate gas flow for all your appliances while meeting code requirements for pressure and safety.
Most residential gas line installations take 1-2 days for the actual work. However, the complete process including permits and inspections typically takes about a week from start to finish.
Simple installations like running a line to a new gas range might be completed in one day. More complex jobs involving trenching, multiple appliances, or challenging routing can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment.
The permit and inspection process adds a few days but is essential for safety and legal compliance. We coordinate all scheduling to minimize delays and keep your project moving forward efficiently.
No, California law requires licensed contractors to perform all gas line installations. DIY gas work isn’t just dangerous – it’s illegal when it comes to gas systems.
Even simple-looking gas line work involves complex safety requirements, proper materials, pressure calculations, and code compliance. One mistake can result in leaks, fires, or carbon monoxide hazards that put your family at risk.
Licensed professionals have the training, tools, and insurance to do the work safely. We also handle permits, inspections, and warranty the installation. Trying to save money on gas line work often costs more in the long run when problems arise.
When we do the installation, this isn’t a concern because we know exactly what inspectors look for. We test everything before the inspector arrives and fix any issues beforehand.
If an installation were to fail inspection, the problems must be corrected before the permit can be closed. This might involve replacing materials, fixing connections, or adjusting installation methods to meet code requirements.
Our installations are designed to pass inspection the first time. We follow California plumbing codes precisely, use proper materials, and complete required pressure testing. We’ve built our reputation on getting things right the first time, which saves you time and money.
Gas line installation costs vary based on distance, pipe size, excavation requirements, and complexity. Most residential installations in our area range from $500 to $1,500 for typical applications like connecting a gas range or outdoor grill.
Factors that affect cost include the length of pipe run, whether trenching is required, permit fees, and any landscape restoration needed. More complex installations involving multiple appliances or challenging routing cost more.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Our quotes include all materials, labor, permits, and testing required for a complete, code-compliant installation. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
